Review
I had no idea that VUK: THE LITTLE FOX existed when I discovered this Hungarian animated feature on YouTube. I'm surprised that VUK came out in the same year as Disney's The Fox and the Hound, another cartoon about a fox, which fortunately doesn't include any similarities. The animation of VUK was anime-like, but had its unique style. Another aspect that lives up to this Hungarian movie is the story. The film is full of sad and funny moments. These scenes include Vuk discovering his family missing and the two drunk geese.

Unfortunately, VUK is hard to track down. It is a foreign film, but for those eager to watch it, it's available elsewhere on the internet.
Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
